Falcon Joystick Review

Simply put...unbelievable. I'm a hard core PC gamer, and I've been through my fair share of gaming mice. Control and precision are super important to me so that's why I bought the Falcon on a whim. It has since changed the way I play FPS games immensely. The realistic force feedback not only adds a new layer of depth and intensity into my games, but gives me more control over my in game movement. You can feel which direction the bullets are coming from, and the springy virtual walls allow you to spin around more quickly. No more picking up the mouse when you hit the edge of the desk. The only con about the Falcon is the realization that your mouse is now garbage.
P.S. I'm no doctor, but I have neck and shoulder pain from PC gaming, but since I got the Falcon, my pain is relieved.

Falcon Joystick Overview
The Novint Falcon is an entirely new type of game controller. Replacing your mouse or joystick, the Falcon is, essentially, a small robot that lets you experience true virtual touch unlike any controller in history. The Novint Falcon lets you control a game in three dimensions, and also lets you feel high-fidelity three-dimensional force feedback. The Falcon controller moves right and left, forwards and backwards, like a mouse, but also moves up and down. When you hold the Falcon's detachable Grip and move your cursor to interact with a virtual object, environment, or character, motors in the device turn on and are updated approximately 1000 times a second, letting you feel texture, shape, weight, dimension, and dynamics. The Falcon lets you control and interact with games in a more realistic way, allowing you to develop real physical skill and muscle memory, adding a new dimension to gaming. The award-winning Novint Falcon makes virtual items and experiences feel real. Feel the weight of a basketball as you shoot it towards a hoop -- the momentum and impact as you swing a virtual golf club and strike a ball -- the recoil of a weapon - or the physical characteristics of virtual objects and environments. Unit Size - 9 x 9 x 9 Weight - 6 lbs
